The effects of CTAB and Cl- on the crystal morphologies of cuprous oxide were studied. Different crystal morphologies of cuprous oxides were obtained by the change of the concentrations of CTAB and Cl. The flowerlike and cubic morphologies of Cu2O crystals were obtained when using higher concentration of CTAB and KCl, respectively. Photoelectrochemical properties of the Cu2O thin films prepared in the system were also studied.展开更多

Firstly, yttrium hydroxide precursor was galvanostatically grown on the steel substrate from chloride bath by direct and pulse current deposition modes. Direct cunent deposition was carried out at the constant current density of 0.1 A/dm2 for 600 s. The pulse current was also performed at a typical on-time and off-time (ton=l S and Germ s) with an average current density of 0.05 A/dm2 (la=0.05 A/din2) for 600 s. The obtained hydroxide films were then scraped from the substrates and thermally converted into final oxide product via heat-treatment. Thermal behaviors and phase transformations during the heat treatment of the hydroxide powder samples were investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The final oxide products were characterized by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results showed that the well-crystallized Y203 with brainand sphere-like morphology were achievable via pulse and direct deposition modes, respectively. It was concluded that pulse current cathodic electrodeposition offered a facile route for preparation ofnanostructured Y203.展开更多
